On our prescribed sighting-lap line, the Optima's chassis proved compliant while the standard high performance dampers (fundamental design shared with the Sorento's dual flow dampers) and suspension tuning found a good compromise between a relaxed ride and more aggressive roadholding. Off the driving line, the stock Nexen touring tires didn't enjoy steering corrections at speed, and predictably squealed in protest.
Owner reviews for tires
I've used em a couple different times and never had a problem. They're pretty good tires for stretching too.
I've got Nankang's and i've had them for two years now (only runnin them in the summer)...They were cheap n i was broke so they were my choice :laugh: Haven't had a problem with them yet:thumbup:
I have 245/45 18 Hankook Ventus S1 rated XL 100V. no problems Tire Rack.
I'm running 255/45/18 which is almost the same as stock. The tire is GT Champiro 328 with load rating of 103. Works really good .
on my Golf with only Koni Sport adjustable dampers and Kumho XS tires, I regularly set faster autocross times than many of the \"darling\" cars in faster classes in my local autocross events
C5 RS6 wheel painted flat black with brand new Nexen 3000 tire 19x8 et 30 best offer UUC weight shift knob, silver (6spd) nice and heavy I can include a threaded OEM shifter for free
Goodyear Eagle GT should be quieter than the Contis for what its worth
Conti ExtremeContacts are noisy. I have them on my Mazda5. The tires are especially loud when they are cold and moving at low speed. They feel like good tires and seem to wear well, but the noise factor alone makes me want to not keep them for too long.
These tires were purchased along with the wheels. Two, i had a second tire begin cracking on the sidewall which they are not covering, and they are trying to pass it off due to road hazard and underinflation. This is clearly a manufacturing defect, which they aren't covering! I am posting this as a warning, and it is up to you to make the ultimate decision. This is just my personal experience, with which i am very displeased. The problem is not with the company i bought the wheels from, but with Vredestein tires. I have never had this many problems with a set of tires in my life!
